lyrics

I wake in the morning and I'm not the same
as I was the day before.
If he hadn't gone and chased me away,
then I'd probable thank the lord,
but if he still knows my faith
he knows what I'm thankful for,
and understand me never trusting him again.

I get lost in my thoughts and they cast me to the wind,
and I love so deep sometimes it can't be captured with the pen,
and I fall so far sometimes it leaves me fractured, on the mend,
limping between what could be and could have been.

I don't have the money to forget my name
among the change I can afford
and every morning when I shave my face
I feel an ache I can't ignore,
and every single moment when it takes my place
and leaves me anchored to the floor
is a moment I will never see again.

So I get lost in my thoughts and they cast me to the wind,
and I come back a stranger, when I finally land again.
Please don't mind the difference
'tween the hand I's dealt and the one I'm handing in
as I wander between what could be and could have been.

I get lost in my thoughts and they cast me to the wind,
and I love so deep sometimes it can't be captured with the pen,
and I fall so far sometimes it leaves me fractured, on the mend,
limping between what could be and could have been.
I'm just caught up between what could be and could have been.
